This table here as helped me with my investigation of the question, "If you know the side lengths of a right triangle, can you predict what the angles will be?" From this table I have found out that the hypotenuse/Side BC is always a little bit more than Side AB. And Angle C always increases or decreases also depending on the length of Side AB.
On the other hand, it depends on the way that you collect your information. For example, I put sides AB, and AC are in chronoligical order. Which may decide the pattern you find.

  1. Putting your data in numerical order is a good first step in finding a pattern. It looks to me like you do have the beginning of a pattern, but that you haven't exactly sorted it all out. What more can you tell me about these numbers and how they are related to each other?
